Thrill-seekers can enjoy a new zip line ride between two towers at the Rio
All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas next month

Riders on the VooDoo Zip Line will travel 845 ft from the 50th floor of the Masquerade Tower at the VooDoo Steakhouse to the 20th floor of the Impanema Tower in nearly 70 seconds.

Towering nearly 500 ft above the city, riders will soar at 33mph from one building to the next but make a return trip on a motorised pulley system travelling at 25 mph.

Each participant can ride alone or fly in tandem with a friend and must weigh no more than 450 lbs. They must be at least four feet tall (or three-and-a-half feet if accompanied an adult).

Onlookers can witness the exhilarating ride from a patio on the 51st floor of the VooDoo Rooftop nightclub, which is said to offer the best views over Las Vegas.

The VooDoo Zip Line is not the only zip line ride available in the city. The SlotZilla, set on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, allows adrenalin junkies to zip line across the world’s largest video screen for about a third of a mile.

Riders shoot off from a 12 storey-high platform designed to look like a slot machine and fly from one of two levels, either 70 ft or 110 ft, above the canopy where a light and sound show takes place each night.

The longest zip wire in the Northern Hemisphere opened in North Wales earlier this year at the Penrhyn Quarry, Britain’s largest slate quarry, found on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. The one-mile long zip wire transports riders around 700ft above the ground at speeds of up to 80mph.

The longest zip wire in the world is 2,000 metres long, and is found in Sun City, South Africa.
